ci: drop per-arch GHCR tags via GitHub Packages API

imagetools has no rm subcommand; the merge cleanup had been failing silently. Document Gitea-to-GitHub tag mirror pitfalls in development.md. CHANGELOG [1.3.0] updated.

+**GitHub Release vs GHCR.** The public [Releases](https://github.com/mixeme/selfpost/releases)

+it looks like “no releases” to everyone else. CI does not create or publish the
+GitHub Release; you do that in the UI. Deleting a release’s git tag on GitHub
+(or re-pushing tags while cleaning the registry) converts a published release
+back into a **draft** — that matches “I published three times and it keeps
+disappearing”. After publish, leave the tag on GitHub; clean up only unwanted

+**Gitea → GitHub tag mirror.** If every tag push from Gitea is mirrored to
+GitHub, two things follow:
+
+1. **GitHub Release tags must not be deleted on GitHub.** Many mirror setups
+   prune remote tags that are absent on Gitea (or re-push with `--force` /
+   `--prune`). Deleting `v1.0.0` / `v1.3.0` on GitHub converts a published
+   Release back to draft. Mirror **branches and new tags forward**; do not
+   delete release tags on the GitHub side. GHCR cleanup is package versions in
+   the UI — not `git push github --delete` and not tag prune on the mirror.
+
+2. **Tag push runs the workflow file at that tag's commit**, not `main`. `v1.0.0`
+   still points at a commit whose `release.yml` has `on: push: tags` and no
+   per-arch GHCR cleanup — every mirror (re)push of that tag can republish
+   `1.0.0-amd64` / `1.0.0-arm64`. Tags from `v1.3.0` onward only run
+   `release.yml` on **Publish release** (`release: published`), so mirroring
+   those tags alone does not start the image build.
+
+   Safe mirror: push tags to GitHub without deleting existing ones; keep release
+   tags on Gitea; publish the GitHub Release on github.com after the mirror has
+   the tag.
